1. Gather all the necessary materials: registration plates, sticky pads (number plate adhesive pads or double-sided tape), a clean cloth, and a tape measure.
2. Make sure your vehicle is parked on a flat surface and is turned off. This will ensure stability and safety while working on the registration plates.
3. Clean the area on the vehicle where you will be attaching the registration plates using a clean cloth. This will remove any dirt, dust, or debris that could affect the adhesion of the sticky pads.
4. Measure and mark the exact placement of the registration plates on the vehicle using the tape measure. Ensure that the plates are straight and centered for a professional finish.
5. Remove the backing from the sticky pads to expose the adhesive side. Press the sticky pads firmly onto the back of the registration plates, making sure they are evenly distributed to provide adequate support.
6. Peel off the protective film from the other side of the sticky pads to expose the adhesive. Carefully position the registration plates onto the marked area of the vehicle and press down firmly to secure them in place.
7. Hold the registration plates in place for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond between the pads and the vehicle. Check that the plates are securely attached and straight before letting go.
8. Once the registration plates are in place, apply firm pressure to the entire surface of the plates to ensure they are securely attached to the vehicle.
9. Take a step back and inspect the registration plates from different angles to make sure they are straight and properly aligned.
10. Congratulations! You have successfully fitted the registration plates to your vehicle using sticky pads. Enjoy your newly attached plates and ensure they comply with all legal requirements for visibility and positioning.
